Go out and ask your friends why they do not plan to ever buy the Wii-U. You will get exactly the above results.

However, as you can often read in self reports, most people that bought the Wii-U end up liking the tablet in eventually. But the fear that it could feel awkward and would not be fun to use is what potential customers scares away from the system.

If you spend a heavy amount of money on something you want to feel fully positive about it. If thinking about using the heavy tablet makes you feel negative, you will not buy it. And as everyone can see in the current sales data, people do not buy the Wii-U because they cannot imagine it could be fun to use the tablet controller.

The current Wii-U owners are a very small and unimportant minority, they will like everything Nintendo does no matter how good or bad it is. If you want to be successful you need to get feedback from potential new customers instead. And this feedback will be devastating.
